Just right-wing nationalist extremist things. Little different than Russia.
I live in Russia, so very subjective, but this is true. There's no support, but there's nothing more to say, it all has been discussed 2 years ago.
Israelis I mostly meet on the Web, so it would seem uncertain due to all the bots and loud morons, but sadly my relatives there seem to be in denial of reality too.
EDIT: I remember somebody saying in my childhood that Zhirinovsky etc are useful to show how this kind of (genocidal/jingoist/anti-intellectualist/...) politicians in a democracy looks as opposed to power gained non-democratically.
How is it a democracy when Arab Israelis are second class citizens. Palestinians under Israeli Military Law are less than that
Israel has dropped tens of thousands of bombs so far on civilian (power) targets since October. After decades of Terrorism in Gaza.
Israel has targeted civilians since 1947 with the Labor party.
Unfortunately, countries with elections in which there is a legally binding demographic imbalance are still considered democracies.
Which is why even Switzerland, which did not allow women to vote until 1971, was still considered a democracy.
Israel is the aggressor too, violently colonizing and ethnically cleansing the local population. The Palestinians are just defending themselves against their own destruction. But it's an unfair fight, because they only have small make-shift rockets against Israel with a big army and getting billions from the biggest empire in the world.
The fact that Israel has a democracy is of no concern to the civilians in Gaza being bombed and starved to death. In fact, it makes it worse: Russians can't vote out their government, but Israelis can.
Genocide is fine if done by a democracy. Got it
That is literally what you basically keep saying everywhere. That this cannot be a genocide because Israel is somehow a democracy. Your only sources are people like John Spencer and other such propaganda arns.
Fascism is the same as Fascism to me
Funny that (a) one doesn't recognize both espouse to be democracies, and (b) who said anything about right-wing nationalists requiring dictatorships? 🤡🧐
... Try again, maybe?
Israel actually is a democracy. Saying otherwise is not correct.
America was a democracy when they genocided the native Americans, too.

They've been at work suppressing dissent since October 7th. Truly the work of democracies.
